“A hidden object game and love story, which revolves around milestones - first meeting, first date, first kiss etc - in a developing and sweet relationship.”
“I really loved the blend of a hidden object game that tells the beginnings of a love story and all those little moments that fall in between.”
“To be more specific, there’s barely any story.”

The game's graphics prioritize aesthetics and narrative, featuring a charming 2D art style that evokes warmth and coziness. While the technology is basic, the stunning visuals and animations create a touching experience, complemented by relaxing music. Overall, the artwork is celebrated for its beauty and emotional resonance, making it a delightful choice for players seeking a visually appealing and soothing game.
“The art and animation are stunning, the purity of the love depicted, the happiness and coziness emanating from the art style and the undoubtedly natural and realistic (despite somewhat idealistic) way the two main characters fall in love absolutely make this game worth the 10 bucks it is when not on sale.”
“It's aesthetically beautiful.”
“Graphics were delightful and cheerful and often accompanied by quotes about love.”
“The game is definitely targeting aesthetics and narrative over everything else; the technology used is obviously basic. I'm not sure what engine this is, but the graphics are 2D; it's just video files being played and a 2D backdrop.”
“One slightly jarring thing for me was that the graphical portrayal of the woman occasionally changed so much that it looked as if the man was cheating with another woman, but this didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the game or my recommendation of it.”
“The artwork is already well-known for its warm and comforting vibes, so I had some expectations for the game adaptation, and it didn't disappoint.”
